As the volume was passing through the press it was found that the editorial matter of the several pieces composing it had considerably exceeded the estimated quantity, but it was thought better to issue the work as it is than to divide it into two volumes. Mr. Warner has himself compiled the Index to the Library of James vi.; and this Index, on account of its special biblio- graphical character, has been printed separately.

WARNER, M.A., F.S.A,, Assistant Keeper of Manuscripts, British Museum b INTRODUCTION The matter here edited is taken entirely from Additional MS. 34,275 in the British Museum. Properly speaking, this manuscript is not, as its number implies, a recent acquisition, for, although its very existence was unknown until a year ago,1 there is every reason to believe that it came to the Museum when the Royal Library was removed thither, as far back as 1759. Probably it was regarded merely as a rough list of some portion of the collection made public property by George xi.; in any case, instead of being classed and cata- logued, as it ought to have been, among the mss., it was kept with the printed books, and the result was that, without being catalogued at all, it was put away in a cupboard and lay there undisturbed for more than a century. With keener eyes or better fortune than his predecessors, Mr. Garnett, the present Keeper of Printed Books, has at length brought it to light, and, as an interesting memorial of the early years of James vx., its publication by the Scottish History Society has an obvious fitness. The ms. is a small quarto of twenty paper leaves, bound in limp vellum. Both within and without it is much soiled and worn, so as to render the writing in some places almost illegible, and it was evidently treated from the first as a rough note-book, without any particular care. In the centre, how- ever, of each cover is stamped a small gilt crown between the initials I R, and this evidence of royal ownership is fully 1 An account of it was communicated by me to the Athenceuvi of 7th January 1893. xii THE LIBRARY OF JAMES VI. borne out by the contents, which not only supply curious information as to the library of James vi. between 1573 and 1583, but include supplementary matter of even more directly personal interest. In two instances, indeed, James has left his own mark upon the volume, having utilised the fly-leaves for the purpose of a copy-book. As he was born in 1566, he was only seven years of age at the earlier of the above dates, and one specimen of his penmanship consists merely of the letters of the alphabet, followed by his signature in three different shapes. A facsimile of this elementary effort is given here as a frontispiece. The other exercise (p. Ixxi) is of the ordinary moral precept kind, and is written in a stiff boyish hand showing all the characteristics of James’s writing in later years. The sentence copied represents a familiar Latin maxim quoted from Cato the Censor by Aulus Gellius (Noct. Jtt., lib. xvi. c. i.)1 James’s wording of it, however, is a literal translation from the later Greek of Musonius as quoted by the same author {loc. tit.), and, unless derived from some printed source, it was no doubt due to one of his tutors, and not to himself. It is a curious coincidence that in an English form the same maxim exists also in the hand of James’s cousin Mary Tudor, written before she became queen. In this case it is inscribed in a fifteenth century ms. Book of Hours, which afterwards belonged to Henry, Prince of Wales, and is now preserved in the Bodleian at Oxford. Apparently when giving the volume to one of her attendants, Mary inserted in it some words of good advice, which end thus:—‘ Yf you take labour and payne to doo a vertuous thyng, the labour goeth away and the vertue remayneth; yf through pleasure you do any vicious thyng, the pleasure goeth away and the vice remaynethe. i Under the title T/ie Contrast: duty and pleasure, right and wrong, upwards of forty variations of it have been printed by Dr. W. A. Greenhill, 6th ed. 1893. George Herbert’s, at the end of his ‘Church Porch’ (The Temple, 1633, p. 16), is as good as any :— ‘ If thou do ill, the joy fades, not the pains ; If well, the pain doth fade, the joy remains.' V INTRODUCTION xiii Good madame, for my sake remember this. Your lovyng mystres, Marye Princesse.’ 1 The bulk, however, of the ms. is in the hand of Peter Young, who shared with George Buchanan the responsibility of James’s education. Probably he is not too well known even in Scot- land, and a few particulars about him will therefore not be superfluous.2 A native of Dundee, he was horn in 154<4, and was educated under the eye of his maternal uncle, Henry Scrymgeour, Professor of Philosophy and Civil Law at Geneva, Theodore Beza being his principal teacher. On his return home he was appointed joint preceptor to the king in 1569.3 No doubt he owed the post to his uncle’s friendship with Buchanan, and he seems himself to have completely won the esteem of his much older colleague, who in writing to Plantin a few years later speaks of him as ‘ oh perpetuam erga me observantiam mihi longe carissimus.’4 Although overshadowed by the other’s fame, he probably did quite as much of the real work of teaching, and deserves a full share of credit for James’s undoubted proficiency as a scholar. On the other hand, the admiring tone in which he records in this ms. the not very 1 2 W. D. Macray, Annals of the Bodleian Library, second edition, 1890, p. 53.

Constable Ltd. for the Scottish History Society 1935 Printed in Great Britain PREFACE The Letters printed in this volume are preserved in the archives of the City of Edinburgh. Most of them are either written by or addressed to Sir George Warrender, who was Lord Provost of Edinburgh from 1713 to 1715, and who in 1715 became Member of Parliament for the City. They are all either originals or contemporary copies. They were tied up in a bundle marked ‘ Letters relating to the Rebellion of 1715,’ and they all fall within that year. The most important subject with which they deal is the Jacobite Rising, but they also give us many side- lights on Edinburgh affairs, national politics, and the personages of the time. The Letters have been transcribed by Miss Marguerite Wood, Keeper of the Burgh Records, who recognised their exceptional interest. Miss Wood has placed her transcript at the disposal of the Scottish History Society. The Letters are now printed by permission of the Magistrates and Council, who have also granted permission to reproduce as a frontispiece to the volume the portrait of Sir George Warrender which in 1930 was presented to the City by his descendant, Sir Victor Warrender, Bt., M.P.

  • Ethnicity and the Writing of Medieval Scottish History1
    The Scottish Historical Review, Volume LXXXV, 1: No. 219: April 2006, 1–27 MATTHEW H. HAMMOND Ethnicity and the Writing of Medieval Scottish history1 ABSTRACT Historians have long tended to define medieval Scottish society in terms of interactions between ethnic groups. This approach was developed over the course of the long nineteenth century, a formative period for the study of medieval Scotland. At that time, many scholars based their analysis upon scientific principles, long since debunked, which held that medieval ‘peoples’ could only be understood in terms of ‘full ethnic packages’. This approach was combined with a positivist historical narrative that defined Germanic Anglo-Saxons and Normans as the harbingers of advances in Civilisation. While the prejudices of that era have largely faded away, the modern discipline still relies all too often on a dualistic ethnic framework. This is particularly evident in a structure of periodisation that draws a clear line between the ‘Celtic’ eleventh century and the ‘Norman’ twelfth. Furthermore, dualistic oppositions based on ethnicity continue, particu- larly in discussions of law, kingship, lordship and religion. Geoffrey Barrow’s Robert Bruce and the Community of the Realm of Scotland, first published in 1965 and now available in the fourth edition, is proba- bly the most widely read book ever written by a professional historian on the Middle Ages in Scotland.2 In seeking to introduce the thirteenth century to such a broad audience, Barrow depicted Alexander III’s Scot- land as fundamentally

Shortly before the War broke out a Dr von Guthry. of Posen, came to see me on his way to Edin- burgh, where he wished to make some in- vestigations into the family history. He was able to give certain assistance to Mr A. Francis Steuart in editing the "Scots in Poland" for the Scottish History Society. By cutting off their tails, as it were, a number of Jews have passed into something Scots, thus Rosenberg, Rosenbloom, Rosen- thal, and so on, have become simple "Rose." though not of the Kilravock type. No doubt it is true as ever that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, except when its stalk is: -berg, -bloom, or -baum. From time to time during the War pro- posals have been made to deal more dras- tically with changes of name than we have hitherto done, but it may be questioned whether anything will be done to stop the practice altogether. As it is, the custom must lead to a great deal of confusion for genealo- gists, and the writing of family history will become more difficult than ever. BATTLE OF GLENLIVET.

Or so the story goes. This case is well known as the last example of the barbarous practice of burning witches in Scotland. It is also infamous for some of its more unusual characteristics – such as the alleged witch ‘having ridden upon her own daughter’, whom she had ‘transformed into a pony’, and of course, the memorable image of the poor, deluded soul warming herself while the instruments of her death were being prepared. Impressive materials, though the most familiar parts of the story did not appear in print until at least 92 years after the event!1 Ironically, although Gaelic-speaking Scotland has been noted for the relative absence of formal witch persecutions, it has become memorable as the part of Scotland that punished witches later than anywhere else.
